Despite all our gloom and doom predictions all summer long, it does look like the Olympic win is not a foregone conclusion after all, folks. And suddenly I'm interested in the Olympics again. pls don't jinx

Looked mighty pissed off, they say. Someone mentioned that the ice was hockey ice and too hard for figure skating so that might be why.

October 24, 20215 yr Shun got a 4Lze in AO and no call on the Lz but a 4Fe today. And Vincent got a call on the F but not Lz. Heh...

Vincent skated just fine (oh god). It was Nathan who seemed not prepared and out of focus. He isn’t going to peak in October in Olympics season, anyway.

October 24, 20215 yr Kaori said there were problems with the ice so it might be a factor. This was Nathan's first comp in the season so he should not be worrying too much. His costumes have gotten more and more... effortless and straight, good for his cool guy image. Vincent has been working hard. A good effort from Shun too. I'm not looking forward to all the score inflation for Nate and Vince, though. Apparently Shoma just went with what Stephane chose for his FS music. I guess everyone has their own priorities but it could help him if he showed more dedication towards his Olym programs. How many Olym spots does the US have for mens? Does Jason have a chance?

Nathan and Jason secured two spots at WC and recently Vincent secured the third one at Nebelhorn Trophy, so with three spots for the US it should be Nathan, Vincent and Jason, but of course we will be sure only when it's officially announced.
